Delay Water Services Bill
Senator Craughwell formally proposes removing the Water Services Bill from the day’s schedule and postponing it until January.
Yesterday, I advised the Leader of my view that the Water Services Bill was bring rushed through the Houses of the Oireachtas and stated that in the light of public concern about this issue I would request that today's Order of Business to be amended in order that our deliberations on it be delayed until January. It is wrong that we are dealing with the Bill in this way. As a result, I formally propose that the Water Services Bill be removed from the Order of Business and taken in January.
